An appropriate answer really depends upon the age of the cookware at hand. Corningware from the day it was sold in 1957, it was made for the stovetop, the oven, the microwave, the dishwasher, refrigerator and the freezer. The material that Corningware was made from, called Pyroceram was a glass-ceramic material that could withstand quick changes between hot and cold without breakage or problems. Corning made millions of the white dishes in a variety of schemes over a thirty year period. Look on the bottom of your dishes, and you will see the markings for its usage. The dishes with handles are the best ones for stovetop usage, and earlier editions had a removable handle for stovetop use. Dishes such as souffle dishes, pie plates, etc. while they can be used on the stovetop are not practical since they lack handles. Corning also in the 1980's made a line of Visions cookware in amber and cranberry colors, that was also a glass-ceramic material for stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer usage. About the year 2000, Corning the company sold its housewares Consumer division, and thus no longer make the "Vintage Corningware" or Visions cookware. A new company, World Kitchens now markets the brand Corningware, but they use a material called stoneware to make the dishes. These dishes are not made for stovetop usage, they are to be used in the oven, the microwave, the dishwasher, and refrigerator, and maybe the freezer - but not for quick changes in the temperature. Again, these items made from stoneware CAN NOT be used on the stove top. There are markings on the product and box that make this very clear. World Kitchens does not make any products for the stovetop. World Kitchens now markets all the kitchenware products that used to be made by Corning.
The bottom line - it depends upon the age of the cookware. The older cookware generally most definitely can be used on the stove top, it was made for it. The newer cookware - which is stoneware - is not and can not be used on the stovetop. Again, look at the bottom of the cookware, there are markings to indicate usage. Hope this helps.

∙ 12y agono u cannot place it directly onto the stove top. It isn't made for slowly getting hot not direct flame or burner.
A different experience - My crockpot was on high for three hours, and it was hot, but it wasn't going to be ready in time for dinner. It wasn't boiling, but it was definitely hot. I tried putting it in the microwave, but I noticed a very hot spot where the waves entered the chamber on the side. The liquid in that area only started boiling in less than a minute, and the turntable could not turn because the crockpot was too big. I figured that the ceramic in that area was getting very hot, creating uneven heating of the ceramic - which could cause it to crack. I thought there would be no additional risk in putting it on the stove. I put it on my gas stove on medium, and stirred it frequently. It may also be important to note that the crock pot was completely full. It worked fine. Summary: One person found that a COMPLETELY FULL crock pot insert that was ALREADY HOT did not crack when put on MEDIUM heat and STIRRED FREQUENTLY. If you want to be completely safe, just transfer the contents to a pot and cook it on the stove top - but of course none of us want to wash an extra dish; that's why we're here.

Can you put a ceramic pot on a flat top electric stove?
Most experiments here do not end well. It is possible, however, if the pot is put on a room-temp stove, and heated simultaneously with the stove burner. When finished with the hot pot, set it back down on the hot burner, and turn the burner off so that they cool together. Even grabbing the hot pot with a cool utensil will cause cracking, as it is the temperature difference that causes the ceramic to crack.
